THE PREDICTION
This is an intriguing match-up between world number 56 Benoit Paire and number 79 Thiago Monteiro with the Frenchman in sub-par form and the Brazilian going well so far in 2022. 27-year-old Monteiro is nearing his career-high ATP world ranking of 74th after reaching the quarter-finals of Adelaide 2 last week, with Gael Monfils retiring in the third set of their round of 16 match. Monteiro made the second round here last season with a win over Andrej Martin and whilst Benoit Paire is a significantly more talented player it is never clear which version of the 32-year-old we are going to see these days. The former world number 18 has lost both matches so far this season to make it a six-match losing streak stretching back to last September and that makes taking Monteiro to win at least two sets as the likelier winner a reasonable move.
